I think I paid a little over $200 for a year of coverage for a $2000 bike, with added medical and property insurance. $400 deductible. Bike theft is really really bad in Denver and I'm kind of planning on it getting stolen eventually, unfortunately

I don't have cameras but I have a stepdown powering a motorcycle headlight.
This is my alarm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B094XPGJRC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I have full coverage insurance for theft/damage/vandalism through Velosurance. They'll cover it if I have it on my bike rack and get rear ended, they'll cover it if I crash it off a cliff. They'll cover it if someone sneaks over and cuts all my wires. Peace of mind for a big purchase/beloved toy.

You can get ebike "dashcams". You can run them off a 12v power supply, or you can hardwire them with a step-down voltage converter.
After that, I recommend a motion detecting alarm system. If I arm it and jiggle the bike, it gives a loud "I know you're there" beep. 5 seconds of jiggling and it lets loose 113db of "leave me alone" klaxon.
Then, insurance. You can insure your bike for whatever you value it at.
Now that you've got all that covered, all you need worry about is everyone operating a vehicle. Ugh.

Here in Denver, the ghost bike memorials for fatal bicycle incidents get hit by cars. Nobody even stops. Shit is scary.

I feel like NASA called up a retired engineer while he was in the middle of golf or something and he just said "Idfk, have you tried turning it off and back on again?" before hanging up.

The temporary drop in voltage from the solar panels might be enough to turn the satellite off and on again.

Untrue. My smoke detector died at 7am on my day off last week.
